Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be Mitt Romney’s VP choice

Following information that former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) would announce his choice for Vice President outside the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, Virgina, sources have confirmed that the nominee will be Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).

The Democratic response the Romney’s apparent choice of the architect of the austere “Ryan budget” is perhaps best summed up by a Tweet from former Michigan governor and Current TV host Jennifer Granholm: “Just poured a glass of wine to toast the selection of Paul Ryan. Mmmm good.”
